It will be tight to turn the first time, because the factory locked it down after it was adjusted. And, if you connect the right vacuum source to that fitting, you can ge the pressure to change with the engine load. That is the second generation of fuel pressure regulators from Bosch. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
